White Sport – A Study in Light and Detail

Clean, precise, and quietly striking — the White Sport is a watch that balances elegance with everyday versatility.

Built around a 36 mm case, it features a beautifully etched white dial that plays with light at every angle, giving the surface depth and texture without overwhelming its minimalist aesthetic. The sharp indices and distinctive Mercedes-style hands ensure excellent legibility while adding a subtle touch of character.

Every piece is carefully assembled by hand, with attention to detail in every component — from the crisp dial alignment to the smooth integration of the case and bracelet. The result is a watch that feels both refined and robust, equally at home in motion or at rest.

This is not a mass-produced accessory. Each watch is individually assembled, making every piece slightly unique — a small statement of craftsmanship in a world of uniformity.

Movement

At its core is the NH35 automatic movement, operating at 21,600 bph (3 Hz), with 24 jewels, hacking seconds, and manual winding. It offers a power reserve of around 41 hours and is known for its durability, serviceability, and consistent performance.

Mercedes Hands

The watch uses the so-called Mercedes hands, that are one of the most recognizable design features in watchmaking — strongly associated with Rolex sports models like the Submariner and Explorer. They are finished with C3 Super-LumiNova, delivering a strong, long-lasting green glow for excellent visibility in low light and at night.

The term comes from the distinctive shape of the hour hand: a circle divided into three segments, resembling the three-pointed star of Mercedes-Benz.

Why were they created?

The design dates back to the 1950s, when Rolex was developing professional tool watches for divers and explorers. The key reason was functionality, not branding:

• The circular segments allowed for more luminous material (lume) to be applied

• The segmentation helped prevent lume cracking or falling out

• The unique shape made the hour hand instantly distinguishable underwater or in low light

Why they stuck

Over time, what started as a practical solution became an iconic design signature. The Mercedes hand is now associated with:

• High legibility

• Tool-watch heritage

• Timeless, slightly sporty elegance
